Supercharged a Summer Escapes pool
After fixing a clogged pump,for the third time as a result of replacing the filter, I decided to find a better option. Intex makes a better filter option that can be retrofitted to the 12’ foot pool I had. I decided against it as I would still have to replace filters often and I never thought the paper filter cleaned that well. I opted for this sand filter. It was a lot more expensive but no more replacing paper filters every week. I have had this installed for 2 weeks and I only need to run it for an hour a day. The old pump I had to run overnight to actually get the water clean. The water actually looks clean and blue like a real pool. Noticeably better. The pump is oversized for my pool but that hasn’t been a problem. The pool vacuum actually works now as a result of the additional power. This pump should last for many years. As my kids get older I plan to get a larger pool and just reuse this filter system. Kit came with everything but the shut off valves for the intake and the outlet. I purchased those, a 2” hose clamp and the summer escapes to intex adapter for the skimmer and I was in business. The unit is not loud except for the jet of water entering the pool. No joke though, this unit will make your pool water look better than ever. If making this same swap, which seems to be somewhat common, the adapter for the summer escapes skimmer is a must. You can find it for less than 15 bucks. Do not hook this pump to the old pump, as some have done. The pump housing is very restrictive and chokes off the new pump and it will not be as efficient. This Intex pump really needs full flow to work well.
